5 Reasons Fire-Rated Vents Are Critical for Your Home or Business
Fire-rated vents can make a significant difference in protecting your home or business from unpredictable and unrelenting wildfires. Some reasons to install fire-rated vents include:
- Increased survivability: Proper fire-rated ventilation is designed to prevent wildfires from spreading, increasing safety and improving the livelihood of homeowners and business owners.
- Ember resistance: Most buildings ignite due to embers reaching combustible vegetation and materials that are then carried by the wind. Fire-rated vents work to prevent embers from entering and destroying your property.
- Adequate air circulation: Fire-rated vents block the effects of wildfires without sacrificing proper ventilation.
- Durable materials: Fire-rated vents are crafted from strong, long-lasting materials, and our products come with a 20-year limited warranty.
- Code compliance: Austin is in the WUI (Wildland Urban Interface) areas, which are at a higher risk of wildfires.
